Why? The public sees nothing if they hit the script.

Not that I have a problem with putting such files outside public, but
it's not uncommon to FTP to a server and just have the html root
visible. I've never seen a server fail that exposed the php as plain
text. Portability leads toward the more accessible path.

Myself, I would be far more concerned about having the MySQL user as: root.
